Sunday sampler - WHAT'S ON THE MARKET

Simple two-bedroom, two-bath floor plans are popular in homes designed for singles and young couples.

But after doing a little research, one builder has found that many members of that home-buying market want a little more.

Wilson P. Abraham Construction Corp. has redesigned some of its plans to offer lofts with its two-, three-and four-bedroom home designs at Park Green. Space previously used for vaulted ceilings can be transformed into lofts.

''There's a lot of dead space on the tops of houses,'' said Jeannie Abraham, vice president of the company. ''We've used every bit of space in these houses.''

The six plans include living areas that range from 1,230 to 1,700 square feet, depending on whether buyers choose the loft or high ceilings.

Two models are available for viewing in the community being developed by New Design Homes.

Abraham said the villas, priced from $69,900 to $76,900, have attracted professionals buying their first homes and retirees buying down.

Each home includes a two-car garage, security system and fencing. Lots average 40 feet by 90 feet.

Of the 50 planned homes, 15 remain.

There is a community pool and clubhouse in

the secluded development.

To get there, take Interstate 4 to Lee Road and go east about two miles to Bennett Avenue and turn left. Go about a quarter-mile and Park Green is on the left.
